In the foreground, a white enamel bowl with blue rim holds a heap of pink-red grains, possibly puffed rice or sweetened grain, with a metal spoon resting on top. Behind it, a second white enamel bowl holds yellow-orange dried fruit pieces with a spoon. A brown and cream ceramic jar stands at the left edge. No people are visible; the red draping and table setting suggest a ceremonial food offering.
